Hi All,
Well this is my first submission ever for a monthly assignment so please be as brutal as you need to be criticizing this image. I took it this morning it was a rather odd morning here in SW Pennsylvania and it couldn't decide what it wanted to do weather wise. The original spot I wanted to take the image I got there and it was pouring down rain. I waited there about 30 minutes and it wasn't letting up. I decided to leave and wait for another day, but when I was around the local mall, which was only about 1.5 miles away from my original spot, the weather decided to break and it turned into a pretty vibrant sunrise. So I decided to head over to the mall to the top of the 3 story parking garage and snap a few pictures. I was so out of it this morning that I didn't even realize that instead of my 18-105mm VR lens I had my 55-200mm lens on. Oh well what can you expect I hadn't had my morning coffee yet lol. I used my Nikon D90, 55-200mm lens with UV filter at 55mm, Aperture priority mode, F18, 30 sec shutter, and slow sync flash from my Nikon SB-600 all set on my Quantaray 9502 tripod. Let me know what y'all think please.
Gunner out

Early morning at 7.10am , the rising sun behind casting a glow at Leigh on Sea. The tide in the Thames estuary was out so the famous cockle boats were not going anywhere. No one was around except the scavenging seagulls. Sue.

Most people tend to dread incredibly dreary mornings such as this, I however love grey skies and dark clouds! (Shot through the sunroof of my car one morning before heading to class. The "ripple effect" is from the water drops that were covering the glass.)

A very close-run competition this month, with the top three entries only a percent or two apart from each other! So in reverse order, in third place with 15% of the total votes is popo. In second place with 16% of the votes is EricD.

But our winner this month with 17% of the total votes is Plymer - it really was a close shave - ho ho!

This means Plymer has until the end of April (preferrably soner) to set the theme (and any restrictions) for May's Assignment. Please let us know in the March Questions and Comments thread.

PS - As always, further congratulations to everyone who entered this month.
